Nothing came of it. It got bikeshedded into oblivion because people wanted "reference" to mean desktops, GUIs, and a bunch of other stuff that fully departed from what I was trying to achieve.
That's disappointing.
I'd still like to have a base environment as an accepted reference for developing the illumos core itself. For those purposes, I don't care about all the other gadgets and desktop goodies, office suite, etc. It needs to be able to run and validate the things we have in illumos-gate… plus the minimal amount required to self host that bit.
Yes, that's exactly what I'd like to see as well. The right toolset to compile/test illumos core, self hosting, no extra parts.
The other problem with using OmniOS for this is that OmniOS is totally controlled by a single commercial entity, which is distasteful for some people.
True, but unlike other companies that start with an O they seem pretty philosophically aligned with illumos, and need to abide by the CDDL, so can't lock up the toys in the shed and kick everybody out of their yard :).
